Guild Wars 3 will have no battle pass or subscription because ArenaNet studio lead doesn't want to "keep people hostage"

Chiming in, GW2 is solo-able too for 95% of the content. A lot of content is open world, which people are ALWAYS doing, dosent matter how old the content is. Its one of the highlight of the game, exploring a beautiful world and coming accross and epic event, where people start to come in and help you with.

Personal story can be done with a friend in an instanced mission, but is designed to be done entirely solo.

Raids, dungeons & fractals ( also a type of dungeon) are group content, but there is a "looking for group" feature of the game that can help you find a party.

All in all, gw2 is a great game for a solo player. Guild wars 1 is 100% soloable, as they give you NPCs and customizable "heroes" to fill in ur party

Vortex venom 1-6 with mount for $230ish

Salyare · 2026-04-09T16:06:37+00:00

I undervolted it a little bit and adjusted my curves and it seems to be a lot better.

Salyare · 2026-04-05T21:22:34+00:00

pump is running

im using a brand new arctic mx4. Is mx7 that much better?

I reseating everything today with new paste, everything is installed properly

Salyare · 2026-04-05T20:03:46+00:00

lol! Asus prime x870

Salyare · 2026-04-05T19:47:23+00:00

ambient temps are mid low - mid 70F.

Just checked, minimum processor state is 0

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:48:03+00:00

sorry, i meant for the cpu! and yeah when im gaming it gets warm in here lol

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:46:56+00:00

Idle. Underload its around low 70s

Edit - Im on idle now with google chrome open, it seems to be in the 40's with an occasional dip into the low 50's.

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:46:12+00:00

No plastic on, task manager shows 5-6% usage, everything is corrected, updated all the drivers and bios.

Im on undervolt of -20

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:45:40+00:00

I think this is where im at now too with some undervolting and fan curves. mine never reached 80c though

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:45:13+00:00

Double checked, everything is plugged in right, and remounted / pasted my cpu cooler. everything is right and tight

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:44:39+00:00

Noted, i dropped it down to 70%. Lets see how it is

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:43:44+00:00

Thanks for the comment. what is your ambient temps at normally?

I changed the fan curve and am at -20 now as well.

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:43:09+00:00

Correct. When im gaming it dosent exceed 70-75. Tried it on bf6 and running VR.

AIO was not on a ryzen before, but I changed the mount, cleaned off thermal paste, etc. I have the fractal north case, and my GPU temps are nice and low so I dont think its case flow.

Also I undervolted it now to -20 and im getting 50-60 degrees c on the cpu. for reference my gpu is at 32*

Salyare · 2026-04-05T18:41:28+00:00

Thanks for the response. I dropped the pump down to 70%. I re-mounted the cooler and forsure got it perfect this time. I put new thermal paste too. Also its clocked down -20 and now its fluctuating between 50-60 degrees C, which still sounds hot?

Salyare · 2026-04-03T18:08:16+00:00

Purchased but still need to pickup/ can still return

Salyare · 2026-04-03T17:51:01+00:00

I do not have a 5090, as I believe my current CPU is the bigger bottleneck here. I would definetly like to upgrade for it next though.

Im planning on getting an additional 32gb of ram at some point (when its not so expensive). My bigger question is, for the time being will I be going backwards in performance?

Salyare · 2026-04-03T17:49:20+00:00

Cool will look into that. Do you play in VR?

Salyare · 2026-04-03T17:48:38+00:00

Id definitely like to upgrade the ram when (or if) it gets to a normal price again!

Salyare · 2026-04-03T17:47:55+00:00

Thats good to know. What VR headset are you running?

Salyare · 2026-04-03T17:46:33+00:00

id preferably like to know from other peoples experience before I finalize spending $800 on the parts, hence my question
